Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Rate limiting is a good feature that protects from volumetric attacks.""The product helps our organization to access sites located in different regions quickly.""Compute@Edge features are valuable to me.""Its initial setup process is straightforward.""Support is good; the product works as advertised. We have a Slack connection with them. So we can basically ask for help, live, engage, and ring when they respond. Very quickly.""Fastly uses configuration versioning, where you can deploy a new version in less than one minute."

More Fastly Pros →

"Since transitioning to G-Core, our site has started working much faster, and freezes have stopped. Users are staying on the site longer and visiting more sections. We increased the number of customers by 30 percent in the past six months. This is partially attributable to G-Core services.""The CDN interface is intuitive and user-friendly, and there are no intrusive ads or upselling additional services. Everything is self-contained, and it's a convenient CDN overall. We also loved that they provided a free trial period. They always seem to do what's best for the consumer and the internet.""Uptime is always perfect.""The support is amazing! They solve the issues on the fly."

Cons
"It is missing a "staging" platform to deploy a test configuration with all of the real settings, which would allow us to properly test before putting it into production.""The solution's pricing could be better.""Support is not that great.""The product should provide improved bot detection and management.""Stronger analytics would be helpful, like showing configurations that haven't served a certain amount of traffic in a while. With many properties, things can get lost track of - duplicates or unused configurations not properly decommissioned.""Fastly's customer service area needs improvement."

More Fastly Cons →

"I would like to have one optimized report that we could use for our own needs.""There are some nuances in the tariff configurations that we found confusing. We would like more flexibility in this area.""It would be great if there were a section on the provider's website that shows a set of services for a particular business. It would be helpful to have some kind of checklist of services that are suitable for your blog, which are required, and which can be set up later.""Once in the past six months, we got a "site is unavailable" error for a maximum of 20 minutes."
